THE RAIN IN HARPO FELL MAINLY ALL BLOODY DAY!

LUKE FEST at The Elephant and Castle was a top experience for everyone, by everyone going the extra mile for a great cause.

A lot of hard work went into putting this day on not least from the guys who built the stage in a monsoon! Everyone was utterly determind that the usual British Summer wouldn’t bugger it up and it certainly didn’t!

It’s hoped that this will be the first of many such collabs with the PPCO and The 88. Big up to Nick Alsop and all of the 88; Matt Edmond, Martin Wakeling and Oliy Allsworth for inviting us along.

In the words of Nick Alsop who promoted the day...

A massive thank you for everyone who had a part in Saturdays inaugural Lukefest! The weather went against us but we made the most of the day and considering everything, we are absolutely delighted. We’re yet to have a proper debrief but we’re hopeful that we can bring Lukefest back again next year bigger, better and definitely dryer!!

Regarding the charity, donations and raffle. The ladies and gents at Farr Brew, the Elephant and Castle and other eta ligaments have continued to sell tickets and take donations through this week and will do so through the coming weekend.

Early next week we will draw the raffle and let the lucky winners know who the are and what they have won and also how much money we managed to raise for the Isabel Hospice.

On behalf of ourselves, the Harris family and all involved, thank you to everyone, we’ll stay in touch and see you all soon.

Thanks so much for the feedback for the A&W set too. Breaking original electronica is a different deal to guitar shizzle!

Not only was the feedback of the new style set excellent and the reception of the ‘space suit’ on it’s maiden voyage, Andreas & The Wolf are also very excited to let slip that we also recruited a new member at the show! Mr Andrew ‘Rogue Sector’ Trussler!, who has been a big friend of the band and the PPCO for ages and has appeared on the Andreas & The Wolf Radio show too, so we’re very excited to welcome him along for the ride!

Another great day was had in the PPCO’s adopted town of Hertford at the invitation of The Kevolution. A top line up of 6 eclectic original bands entertained the masses throughout a thankfully dry and actually rather sunny Saturday evening.

It was a great chance for Andreas & The Wolf to get rare back to back gigs under their space boots and utility belts as the new set takes shape nicely. Big thanks to everyone who came down and especially Anna for the pics!
